What does the blank-firing modification entail?

A little flag that pops out the end of the barrel that says, "Bang!"

If you click on this link the whole process for modifying the gun to shoot blanks is spelled out in the article.

But in short it consists of installing a set screw in the carrier block and cutting a small notch in the bolt so that the bolt can pass by the set screw in the carrier block.
